<p>QSslCipher stores information about one cryptographic cipher. It
is most commonly used with <a href="qsslsocket.html">QSslSocket</a>, either for configuring which
ciphers the socket can use, or for displaying the socket's ciphers
to the user.</p>
<hr /><h2>Method Documentation</h2><h3 class="fn"><a name="QSslCipher" />QSslCipher.__init__ (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Constructs an empty <a href="qsslcipher.html">QSslCipher</a>
object.</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="QSslCipher-2" />QSslCipher.__init__ (<i>self</i>, QString&#160;<i>name</i>, <a href="qssl.html#SslProtocol-enum">QSsl.SslProtocol</a>&#160;<i>protocol</i>)</h3><p>Constructs a <a href="qsslcipher.html">QSslCipher</a> object for
the cipher determined by <i>name</i> and <i>protocol</i>. The
constructor accepts only supported ciphers (i.e., the <i>name</i>
and <i>protocol</i> must identify a cipher in the list of ciphers
returned by <a href="qsslsocket.html#supportedCiphers">QSslSocket.supportedCiphers</a>()).</p>
<p>You can call <a href="qsslcipher.html#isNull">isNull</a>() after
construction to check if <i>name</i> and <i>protocol</i> correctly
identified a supported cipher.</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="QSslCipher-3" />QSslCipher.__init__ (<i>self</i>, <a href="qsslcipher.html">QSslCipher</a>&#160;<i>other</i>)</h3><p>Constructs an identical copy of the <i>other</i> cipher.</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="authenticationMethod" />QString QSslCipher.authenticationMethod (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the cipher's authentication method as a <a href="qstring.html">QString</a>.</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="encryptionMethod" />QString QSslCipher.encryptionMethod (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the cipher's encryption method as a <a href="qstring.html">QString</a>.</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="isNull" />bool QSslCipher.isNull (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns true if this is a null cipher; otherwise returns
false.</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="keyExchangeMethod" />QString QSslCipher.keyExchangeMethod (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the cipher's key exchange method as a <a href="qstring.html">QString</a>.</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="name" />QString QSslCipher.name (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the name of the cipher, or an empty <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> if this is a null cipher.</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qsslcipher.html#isNull">isNull</a>().</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="protocol" /><a href="qssl.html#SslProtocol-enum">QSsl.SslProtocol</a> QSslCipher.protocol (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the cipher's protocol type, or <a href="qssl.html#SslProtocol-enum">QSsl.UnknownProtocol</a> if <a href="qsslcipher.html">QSslCipher</a> is unable to determine the
protocol (<a href="qsslcipher.html#protocolString">protocolString</a>() may contain
more information).</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qsslcipher.html#protocolString">protocolString</a>().</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="protocolString" />QString QSslCipher.protocolString (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the cipher's protocol as a <a href="qstring.html">QString</a>.</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qsslcipher.html#protocol">protocol</a>().</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="supportedBits" />int QSslCipher.supportedBits (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the number of bits supported by the cipher.</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qsslcipher.html#usedBits">usedBits</a>().</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="usedBits" />int QSslCipher.usedBits (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the number of bits used by the cipher.</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qsslcipher.html#supportedBits">supportedBits</a>().</p>
